First Motorex, now Kaizo. More GTRs seized by police forces from Cali owners.

your "skyline owners meet" all of them that arent motorex cars are ILLEGAL. If they are being driven on the street i would say 99% of them are FED ILLEGAL

I never once vouched for someone else's car, I know many Motorex owners accross the country attending the meets. Pointing the "illegal" finger at Skylines is silly when JDM tyte motor swaps are just as illegal as a grey market car (Euro, Jap, whatever) driving around.

Actually. You are incorrect to a certain point.

A Skyline as a whole, is illegal.

The entire car, not just the engine. You can walk down to the DMV and register swapped 240s all day long. Won't be able to do that with your Skyline. Sure you can fudge it, because yes....this is Georgia and get titles. The Southeast is the Wild West of automobiles. You will never get away with that in Cali. Used to be you called a Sheriff, had him come out, check the blinkers and lights and bam, you got a vin and then a title. Those days are coming to a close as the Feds are educating Jethro.

Now, if it's more than 25 years old, no problem. But your R32 or R34...nope, Evo 5...nope, Pulsar GTiR...nope.

Sad really, but thats the way it is.

A vehicle with no motor/tranny is not considered a motor vehicle and therefore is not to be treated as such when being declaired through Customs and is not subject to FMVSS. So no I'm not incorrect and a chassis is not illegal in any way at all. There is nothing illegal about having a chassis on a dolly claimed as "used automotive parts". That is not circumvention, it's facts.


A lot of what's being debated here in regards to legal/not legal with Kaizo and related matters needs to be reminded that no charges have been filed against Daryl or Kaizo in general, therefore these issues have yet to stand in court which the suspected case is to be regarding what the intended purpose of the vehicles was upon importation. Shipping used auto parts or a chassis for the sole purpose of using it as a coffee table is perfectly legal.

Here let me give you the final fact in this debate. If the government WANTS to take your Skyline. They WILL!. End of discussion, end of story. There will be absolutely NOTHING that you can do about it. You can quote this, quote that, say this, say that....be an armchair lawyer all the live long day, but if they want it. They will get it. Done.
